UFC President Dana White recently said Jones and trainer Greg Jackson “murdered” UFC 151 when they turned down a fight with replacement Chael Sonnen on nine days’ notice.

White, though, since has admitted Jones’ original opponent, injured Dan Henderson, deserves part of the blame.

UFC 151, which was slated to take place this past weekend, ultimately was scrapped altogether, and Jones (16-1 MMA, 10-1 UFC) now meets former middleweight title challenger Vitor Belfort on Sept. 22 at UFC 152. But UFC 151, which White said cost the UFC $2 million just in advertising expenses, isn’t solely Jones’ fault. He said Henderson (29-8 MMA, 6-2 UFC), who was forced off the card with a partially torn MLC, should shoulder part of the blame.

“Dan Henderson knew two weeks before the fight,” White said Tuesday on FUEL TV’s “UFC Tonight.” “Two weeks before he told me he was injured, he knew. Had he given me that two weeks like he should have, [UFC 151] might have happened. He’s definitely to blame too.”

Still, White again pointed to Jones as the primary culprit.

“There’s never been a case ever in UFC history where a [champion] didn’t step up and take a fight,” he said. “I had good reason to be upset (at Jones).”

Many of UFC 151’s other fighters, perhaps most vocally Charlie Brenneman, also put the blame on Jones. Those fighters, though, were rebooked for other upcoming cards. White said those who are booked for later in the year received compensation now.

Despite White’s displeasure with Jones’ decision to turn down the Sonnen fight (though he offered to fight him three weeks later at UFC 152, according to the champ), the UFC boss said it’s not necessarily personal.

“Jon and I haven’t talked since the incident,” he said. “Do I have any animosity or hate Jon Jones right now? I don’t. And if I did, I’d tell you. We’ll find out as we move along in our relationship where we’re at.”

Still, he didn’t mince words when it came to Jackson, who would have been in the Philippines for Andrei Arlovski’s fight and only able to offer Jones minimal attention prior to the proposed late-notice fight with Sonnen.

“The Greg Jackson stuff – this guy, this is my philosophy on trainers: You need a good trainer, a guy who’s going to be there for you, a guy who can kind of keep you in line and keep you training and everything else,” White said. “Trainers don’t make fighters. Talented fighters make trainers. That’s a fact. This guy is a businessman. First and foremost, before anything, this guy is a businessman. He’s built a business.

“‘We’re a family. We’re a family.’ That’s what he kept telling Rashad (Evans) and Jon so they wouldn’t fight. I told Rashad and Jon, ‘He’s not your family. Greg Jackson is not your family member. If things go bad for you tomorrow, brother Greg isn’t going to be there for you. Is he going to pay your bills? Is he going to take care of your real family? No, he’s not.’ And you saw when push came to shove, who did Greg Jackson pick? Who did he ultimately pick at the end? He picked Jon Jones, the guy he believed would be Rashad. That’s a business. He’s a businessman.”

As the UFC 189 tour made its last stop in Dublin, featherweight champ Jose Aldo was met with a torrent of abuse from the Irish fans. It might have been unpleasant, but it might also have been just what he needed.
